Description
In this deep and reflective episode of Inside Personal Growth, host Greg Voisen sits down with Dr. Bartosz Adam Gonczarek, author of Riddled by Progress: The Challenge of Nurturing Humanity in the Age of AI, to explore the philosophical and human consequences of rapid technological advancement.

This conversation invites listeners to rethink progress, authenticity, and the role of technology in shaping our inner and outer worlds.
